Over the last few weeks Clark has made some adjustments to there starting lineup. 2021 6’0″ PG Frankie Collins is running the show. He is a very poised player that makes good decisions. Mr Collins gets his team involved. He can also step outside and knock down the open shot. This young man has the ability to get inside the lane and finish.
2018 6’4″ SG Trey Woodbury must play big. This young man must be aggressive, and knock down shots. If Clark is going to have any chance. 2018 6’5″ SG James Bridges is the leader of this team. This young man has deep range, he has the ability to stretch the floor by knocking down shots from the 3-point area. 2019 6’6″ PF Antwon Jackson is a major key factor in this game.
